 ‘FlamenKora’ draws sketches of Spain in an African way with the spirit of jazz, through the sensitive and expert intertwining of improvisational trumpet and flamenco guitar, with traditional
Mandinka Kora and vocals from Senegal. A timeless and enchanting multicultural exchange, this is truly beautiful, soulful music - a welcome salve for troubled times.
 Prior trumpet / Kora collaborations by Volker Goetze have attracted 25 million streams. 
 For fans of Ablaye Cissoko, Paco de Lucia, Toumani Diabate, Miles Davis.
 By adding Flamenco guitar to his already proven and loved Kora / trumpet sound, Goetze brings a welcome and truly fresh development to world / jazz music.
 “These music traditions evolved separately for centuries until legendary artists Miles Davis, Paco De Lucia, and Chick Corea introduced the styles to American jazz. This debut is a very special moment for us as we are having an opportunity to
extend the work of these jazz masters through ‘FlamenKora’” - Volker Goetze 
 “Ali Boulo Santo’s style of playing the Kora is outstanding because of his perfect mastering of this ancient instrument as well as his willingness to innovate.” - Frank Bessman, Musique Afrique
